A cable from an 80's Volvo, with a Golde roof (same brand used on the e9/e3) works great. In fact the Volvo cable is better because its end is metal, where the BMW cable end is plastic. Sorry, not sure of the exact years/models of Volvos that have these cables.

Dealer stated the cables are back order.
also my sunroof is electric. The Volvo Golde cable from 1980s Volvo apear to from manual sunroofs. The issue appears to be that the slider faces the wrong direction.

Yes, the cable from 1980s Volvo that I mentioned is for a manual sunroof. I wasn't aware you were working on an electric. Sorry, I know nothing about electric 'roofs.

The only difference, other than possibly the length, between electric and manual sunroofs is the direction of the slider portion. FYI, Vw 1980s cables appear to be same as 1980s Volvos. I will try to change slider direction. This requires removing the slider and turning it around 180 degrees. This should work and the VW cables are very available so I should find them locally.

I have a brand new one I will sell at list price plus shipping. Better yet. Trade for defroster ducts
